In this completely new kind of \u201cquiz,\u201d each team uses 2 or 4 mobile devices to tackle clue challenges based on selected themes. Every device receives a stream of unique clues at short intervals, and it\u2019s up to the team to study them, compare information, and discuss their findings. Only by combining everyone\u2019s clues and working together can the team uncover the answer as quickly as possible. Collaboration is the key \u2014 the solution can only be found through teamwork.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Clue Detectives is ideal for team-building, keeping groups energized in a quick and effective way, and supporting the learning and internalization of a chosen subject area.<\/strong><\/p>

The game briefly pulls participants\u2019 minds away from the meeting and into solving clue challenges or tasks in small teams, while picking up something new along the way. This short break from the usual meeting routine helps boost focus and cognitive performance for the remainder of the session.<\/p>

At the same time, the game serves as a fun competition that naturally raises everyone\u2019s energy levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The game\u2019s customizable content allows you to choose the exact themes for the clue challenges or questions.<\/strong><\/p>

You can select between 1 and 4 theme areas.<\/p>

In addition, you can include your own customized questions tailored specifically for your meeting or event. Team answers and statistics are available immediately, making it easy to utilize the results during the session itself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The recommended effective duration of the game is 15\u201360 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>

The game can be played as a single session or divided into multiple sessions.<\/p>

The game consists of 1\u20134 short parts, which can be played all at once, spread throughout the day, during lunch, or even over dinner with everyone at the table. At a dinner event, the parts can be played before the starter, between courses, and once more at the end.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The game is an excellent fit for events of all sizes.<\/strong><\/p>

It works equally well for small groups and for events with thousands of participants.<\/p>

The game is played in teams, with each team using either 2 or 4 mobile devices. Team sizes can therefore range from 2\u20134 or 4\u20138 people (with 1\u20132 participants per device).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Starting the game only takes a moment.<\/p>

Divide into teams and choose a captain whose phone or tablet will serve as the team\u2019s main device.<\/p>

The captain installs the ActionTrack app, loads the game using the join code, creates a clan for the team, and the other team devices join both the game and the clan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When the team is ready to continue, the captain simply activates the next part of the game. Clue challenges are typically given to teams in a randomized order, so listening to other teams won\u2019t provide any advantage.<\/p>

After completing a part, the team may pause the game and return to it later, or proceed immediately by activating the next part of the game.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The game can consist of 1\u20134 short rounds. Each round can be 10, 12, or 15 minutes long. For example, the first round can be 15 minutes, the second round 10 minutes, and so on.<\/p>

Each round of the game can feature a selected theme for the clue challenges. This means the game can include clue challenges from a total of 1\u20134 different themes. Completing a single clue challenge typically takes about 1\u20132 minutes, and a faster answer earns more points.<\/p>

In addition, the game can include a chosen number of the client\u2019s own custom questions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How to Play the Clue Detectives Team Game<\/strong><\/p>

1. Divide into teams.<\/strong>
Team size is flexible, but we recommend 1\u20132 players per mobile device. Choose a group size that feels right for you.<\/p>

2. Choose a team captain.<\/strong>
The captain uses the team\u2019s main mobile device (phone or tablet). The device should be modern and reliable.
Note:<\/strong> The game cannot be transferred to another device once started. Make sure the device has sufficient battery before you begin.<\/p>

3. The captain installs the ActionTrack app.<\/strong>
Download the free ActionTrack app from Google Play or the App Store. Accept all requested permissions to ensure the game functions correctly.<\/p>

4. Load the game and create a clan.<\/strong>
The captain:<\/p>

  • Loads the game<\/p><\/li>

  • Enters a player name<\/p><\/li>

  • Creates a clan for the team (Clan view \u2192 \u201cCreate new\u201d<\/strong>)<\/p><\/li>

  • Sets a clan name and password<\/p><\/li>

  • Joins the clan first by entering the password<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    If the password is forgotten at the very beginning, the captain can simply create a new clan and start again.<\/p>

    5. The team\u2019s other selected mobile devices join the clan.<\/strong>
    Each player whose device will be used:<\/p>

    • Installs ActionTrack<\/p><\/li>

    • Loads the game<\/p><\/li>

    • Chooses a player name<\/p><\/li>

    • Joins the captain\u2019s clan from the list and enters the password<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      6. During the game, the captain controls the pace.<\/strong>
      When the captain activates the next clue challenge, the unique clues for that challenge will soon appear on all team devices.
      Once the captain submits the team\u2019s answer, the other devices automatically move into standby mode, waiting for the next challenge to begin.<\/p>

      7. You may leave the game and return at any time.<\/strong>
      The game can always be found in the ActionTrack app under the \u201cActive\u201d<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
